"Israeli first Zionist"? Sanders? You are so completely full of shit you're on a level with Trump's diaper.

Signs that the bubble is about to burst. They are now claiming AGI despite being fundamentally away from it. An LLM can not ever achieve AGI. It may reasonably well PRETEND to be AGI, but at the core it's just a highly successfull letter-prediction machine. Or as a metaphor: It is "intelligence" in the sense that a toddler carefully placing one foot in front of the other while trying hard to not fall over is "running". Nope, isn't and never will be. You need a qualitative change to get there.

If they now CLAIM that they've achieved AGI, it's a sign we're nearing the end of LLM development and they're getting desperate selling the latest incremental updates. Which means the illusion is about to come crashing down.

Which is good news. Fewer data centers and lower memory prices will benefit us all.

Thats why we compartmentalize projects now into a specific self contained domains.
Postgres inside, C# or Python backend, React Front End, API at the edge, gitea CI/CD
For example
Asset Manager
Property Manager
HRMS
QA
Sensor Data Viewer

All self contained.
The Asset manager identifies the risk level of the asset, the HRMS has training and comptency matric for the staff.
Seems to be working well ATM

I didn't ever think I'd live to see The Forbin Project become a real possibility, but here we are.

The problem with wearing Water Wings (even really good ones) instead of learning how to swim is that on the day the Water Wings stop working, you still can't swim, and now you're floundering out in the middle of the pool.

I’m an EE and have coded mostly embedded for over 40 years.
In the 2 months, using Claude code, I’ve
Created property management application, including APIs to read 12 solar accounts, AI read pdf electricity bills, tenant portal, SharePoint integration, graph and entra integration, document storage, tenant doc sharing, lease management, critical date and compliance management, task management, dashboard, key register, DB backup within and external to app, etc etc. Full CI/CD pipeline with Gita secrets injection to docker. C# backend, React front end. I wouldn’t have a clue how to do front end dev. It took under 2 weeks, where most of time was devops with IT.
I’ve also developed a complex magnetometer data processing app (sync demod, FFT, water wall)
An asset management application to keep track of hundreds of pieces of test equipment.
An app to port 100k+ test records from unstructured ATE test logs to a structured searchable database.
Ported a payroll checking app I wrote in C# to a web app.
Debugged a commercial RFID microcontroller project with an obscure bug.
Developed a software architecture plan for complex mining sensor software.

The AI is WAY smarter than me most of the time and has allowed 20x productivity and done things I’d never had the patience to learn, like front end dev.
The cost of code has gone to almost zero.

I mean, if youÃ(TM)re running AIs, youÃ(TM)re gonna want 128GB at least, and a fast GPU. At that point, it being a MacBook Pro isnÃ(TM)t going to make much difference. ItÃ(TM)s gonna cost $7000, which I grant you is a lot of money, howeveræ now find me another laptop with a GPU around the performance of the laptop 5080, and 128GB of RAM the GPU can access.

A laptop or desktop with 128GB of RAM will likely be around $7000, with RAM costs being what they are. Even a 64GB laptop is already around $4000-5000.

Sure, some manufacturers could throw in decent chargers and such, but honestly most of them are pretty lame.

Apple used to give you a 5W adapter. It would charge your iPhone, but slowly. It hung around (along with the green dot going back to the first generation iPhone because of a recall where the prongs might stay plugged in) until 2025 or so when Apple finally discontinued them. Likely the only reason being to those countries that insist on a charger being sold with every phone.

Even though you and I know that for the most part, those are going in the trash as e-waste because they aren't terribly useful unless you have a lot of USB powered trinkets. To which you probably can ask your friends for those adapters before they trash them.

The faster chargers they aren't going to give it to you for free.

Note that some phones come with faster chargers - Samsung, Qualcomm based ones, OnePlus, etc., because they don't use standard charging protocols like PD (OnePlus I believe only recently switched to PD) so if you wanted fast charging you needed to use their own special charger as a standard one wouldn't work. Qualcomm ones use QC (QuickCharge, a Qualcomm proprietary system that's dying out along with Apple, though at least many third party adapters support both).

It's funny, but they all still come with cables. You'd think as a standard object they'd get rid of them as well, but chances are they are valuable to have around since they do break often so you're less likely to toss it since you'll probably save it for when you need to replace a broken one.

"Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, it’s an initiation... What age should you start to see public executions?"
"We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor. We need it immediately."
"You quote Leviticus 19, love your neighbor as yourself. The chapter before affirms God's perfect law when it comes to sexual matters... in Leviticus 18, is that thou shall lay with another man shall be stoned to death."
Stoning gay people to death is "God's perfect law"
Trans people are to blame for inflation: "There's a direct connection to inflation and the trans issue. You say, Charlie, come on. They couldn't be further apart. No, they're exactly the same. They're the same in this aspect—when you believe that men can become women, why wouldn't you also believe that you could print wealth? If you believe that someone can change their gender, why wouldn't you also believe that money is wealth?"
Blacks "were actually better in the 1940s. It was bad. It was evil. But what happened? Something changed. They committed less crimes." (yes, despite the Piers Morgan "fact check", while his reasons for believing black people were better off under segregation was unrelated to segregation itself, he very much did repeatedly argue that black people were better off in the 1940s)
"If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’"
Juneteenth: "It is a neo-segregationist federal holiday, is what it is... The entire point of it, as per postmodernists do and deconstructionists, is to subvert July 4."
We should have "just took care of" trans people "the way we used to take care of things in the 1950s and '60s"
"The Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it’s only gonna get worse.. There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama, and they will become your masters."
"Haiti is legitimately infested with demonic voodoo. I’ve talked to missionaries that have gone there and they say they’ve seen the darkest stuff... people levitating and turning into cats at night."
"Jewish donors have a lot of explaining to do.. Because Jewish donors have been the No. 1 funding mechanism of radical, open border neoliberal quasi-Marxist policies, cultural institutions and nonprofits. This is a beast created by secular Jews. And now it’s coming for Jews.. It’s the nonprofits, it’s the movies, it’s Hollywood, it’s all of it."
Calling Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown "affirmative action picks".
Calling the man who attacked Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer an "amazing patriot" and called on people to bail out the attacker.
"Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge. "
"Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more."
"MLK was awful. He’s not a good person... We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s."
"Transgenderism and gender 'fluidity' are lies that hurt people and abuse kids." Transgender identity is a "throbbing middle finger to God."
Gun violence as a "cost" to having no gun control: "I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."
"The 'Great Replacement' is not a theory, it's a reality."
"The great replacement strategy, which is well underway every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different."
"Islam is not compatible with Western civilization."
"Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America."

On and on. Man, such a moderate centrist who never espoused bigotry or promoted violence!

The one being incorrect is you. Archie's representation is quite accurate, in the US context.

Yes, a very "middle of the road" supporter of far-right Tommy Robinson (who has a 17% positivity ranking among Brits). The guy who said "When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them." The guy who described diversity as an "ideological inferno", a "religion" led by "high priests". The guy who was so radical and repressive at Basecamp that at one point 1/3rd of its employees all walked out en masse. Truly, a remarkable centrist of our times!

Not talking about VRAM or unified memory. Regular DRAM.

There's been a lot of advancement recently on how to best manage MoE expert swapping (FreeToken is just one example).

The present age verification laws are creating FAR more problems than they solve.

Which is what the OS age verification was supposed to solve - the OS verifies your age and that's it. You don't have to send your ID to a million third party agencies. Of course, these agencies don't have to worry about OS verification taking over since not every OS will have that functionality (usually phrased as "open source OS exclusion").

All those Linux users will be keeping those third party services alive.

That's fine, competition is good. Though it's only a duopoly so it's not exactly ideal, but if it means communications with Mars gets competitive then it can only be a good thing.

Nobody will use their new app, because the old one sucks and we all use Spotify.
Spotify works so why change.
